STEAMED SALMON-SOY & LEMON

By Phil-2

Ingredients

• 2 (1-pound) salmon fillets
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 scallions, cut into 4-inch pieces
• 4 slices ginger
• 1 lemon
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Preparation

Step 1

Thoroughly rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry. Put the fillets in a 9-inch shallow heatproof bowl. Drizzle the soy sauce, salt and pepper over the salmon. Sprinkle with the scallions and ginger. Cut the lemon in half crosswise. Cut half a lemon into 4 slices and put on the fish. Juice the remaining lemon and drizzle over the fish.

Steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Test the fish for doneness by poking the thickest party with a chopstick or fork; the fish should flake. If not, steam 1 to 2 minutes or until the fish just flakes.

Be sure to check the water level from time to time and replenish if necessary, with boiling water.

Carefully remove the bowl from the wok. Drizzle the sesame oil over the fillets.
